Listen, the whole point of this site is to discuss football, and throw out your opinions.
These guys were dead wrong, as usual, yet acting like they were some kind of ultimate authority on the Bucs!!

No.

Unfortunately, I’ve been around here longer than most of them. I’ve seen, and argued against, some of their Bone headed delusions.
And to be fair, they’ve been right once or twice, when I wro . .
Wro . . Um, misinformed. Which is fine.

But if they wanna start sounding all knowning, just ask which ones of those brain surgeons actually suggested we trade our top 4 picks , to aquire the failure known as Trent Richardson! ( still makes me love- I told’em he was a to slow cow- they almost blew up my phone with Trent love)
Ask which ones argued against signing Vincent Jackson( we have Mike Eilliams and Arrelious Benn- Jackson will just sit on the bench- lol)
Or thought Shiano would have us in the playoffs in two years.
Eric and I both thought it was Crazy to hire a dictator type career .500 coach, from a lil piss ant sized college. The masses here wanted us burned at the stake for Blasphomy!!
Two entirely wasted years later . .

Yeah, the more they team up on ya- the more stupid B.S. In the pile.
Including me sometimes! Lol

What Mason does NOT do well, is cover a lot of ground, show he’s able to get to the middle 3rd when playing T-2, and show up in coverage. I still look for Dane Fletcher to unseat him. Mason Foster is a lot like former Mike for Atlanta that jumped over to the Saints, Curtis Lofton. MEH!!!

Fri, 30 May 2014 14:23:42 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=113987#comment-3406333Might not wanna share your opinions about Foster being superior talent, when compared to our Super bowl winning, pro bowl linebacker- Mr. Shelton Quarles.

He’s either gonna laugh at you so hard, that you’ll start crying,
Or demonstrate this Probowl tackling technique, which would require someone to come untie the knots he knocked you into.

Quarles anchored one of the best defenses in league history. He went to the ProBowl- and helped us win the Super Bowl!!
The greatest season, and game, the Bucs have ever played!!

And you dare diminsh that, but saying he wasn’t as good as some guy who is just about to lose his position?!?!

Dude!!!

If you could see how hard I’m laughing at you, you’d cry!!!
Lucky I’m not Joe! Those two post would get your posting put in “time Out” for 10 days!! Just so you’d learn to think before you post!

And never insult the men who won Tampa the championship

Well, that’ll be your little secret!
Our coach stated, after less than two weeks on the job, that we needed to improve our Middle linebacker production.

And then signed a Middle linebacker that is a coverage specialist!

But, ah, what does he know, right?

Fri, 30 May 2014 13:50:02 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=113987#comment-3406320Foster has poor instincts and coverage skills. It’s also a red flag when the MLB cannot call the plays. I guarantee you that Lovie is worried but he had no better option this offseason. Perhaps Dane Fletcher can emerge. Foster just doesn’t have what it takes to be a good Tampa 2 mlb.

“Except QBs?”

If you think that scored a hit on me you are wrong. I’ve been consistent in saying Mike Glennon need true, valid competition. I’ve even spoken against him being traded. I just don’t want the job or props handed to him without him earning it, and unless there is a QB of equal potential to be a long term solution, it isn’t really competition.

Also, Mason Foster has improved enough to earn props. When David was drafted, there was talk of moving him outside and making David the MLB. This talk increased when David called the plays.

But Mason played his possition well enough to earn it.

Mike Glennon has not. Nowhere have I said we should cut Glennon. I have always said, “Two chances are better than one.”

Meaning have two young talented guys fight for the job.

The problem with MGMers is they want to hand the job to him and see how he does. I want to make him earn it and double our chances of getting a franchise QB. Otherwise we may be wasting time.

You would get this if you spent thousands of dollars on the team each year. Wasting time wastess money.

Fri, 30 May 2014 11:55:30 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=113987#comment-3406268Foster is a thumper, above average player moving forward, below average going backwards.
Also, he wears down in the back half of the season due to nagging injuries.
Big hitters all succumb to the pounding. Ask the Hawk.

Fri, 30 May 2014 08:25:47 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=113987#comment-3406264Oh, futher enlightenment.
A” scout that scouts other teams”
That is called a pro personnel scout.
We just hired Scott Cohen, from the Jets, to head that Department.
There are ussually 4-6 scouts, plus the Data assemelation guys, data storage, etc.
It’s about a 20-30 person department. It is dedicated solely to scout the personnel of the other 31 teams.

And no, the knock on Nicks was his dedication. New Orleans stately quiet clearly, that they were concerned about Nicks motivation- once he got his huge contract.
Especially considering that his agent was demanding a guaranteed contract- with no incentive clauses.
Dom felt comfortable signing him to guaranteed money.
How’d that turn out.
I think he’s done. Played 3 or 4 games- and set for life.
The comments by the saints are in a Free agency statement New Orleans issued concerning his impending free agency.
It’s on Wikcompanion. Look it up.

Fri, 30 May 2014 06:31:22 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=113987#comment-3406263As usual – most of you continue to stumble around clueless.
Foster sucks in coverage. In the cover 2 the middle linebacker is primarily in mid- coverage.

Look for Dane Fletcher to be our MLB on passing downs, and Foster to be in a SLB “rush backer” position.
Or on the bench.

And, just so the really slow ones can have something to float around in their heads-
Interceptions ussually are the result of you being somewhere the QB didn’t expect you to be.
You can surprise him by being in the wrong place, as easily as by him “not seeing you” in the right space.
He had a couple- he wasn’t setting the league on fire

A few of you will discount this entirely accurate analysis.
You will also forget that one of Lovies first comments was that we need to “improve production at the MLB position”.

So you’ll argue. But as often as you’ve looked stupid- what have you got to lose? Lol

Most of you are still members of the “Trent Richardson is the best RB in the history of the league” club!

Keep laughing it up.

Fri, 30 May 2014 04:28:33 +0000http://www.joebucsfan.com/?p=113987#comment-3406255I don’t understand the ‘issue’ with the Mike calling the plays/audibles. Folks, he’s in the MIDDLE of the field. He has the best view of the entire offense. He can also call the plays/audibles without the need for them to be relayed to the other side of the field. I do not see this as a ‘demotion’ for Lavonte. This is logical, as long as the Mike can handle the job.

The guy’s a BS artist I smelt his work the other day.
